| I scored a 29 and I also basically guessed at perhaps 6 of them. |

31 of 32. There were around 4 where (I maintain) there was simply no difference, I refused to select Up or Down so I hit U & D together and it moved on to another without telling me 'correct' or not. I have no idea how this affected the score.
FWIW, it does not load on my Firefox but ran it fine on Chrome. |

You listened to 32 sounds. Of those you guessed 30 correctly!
Nice work! You did better than 97.25% of people. Your average speed was 1.2 seconds. |

| 30 out of 32. 1.4 second average. Harder than I thought it would be. Guess that's where vibrato comes in handy! |

Takes a while to start up, and it requires a modern browser (uses HTML5).

32 out of 32 with 1 sec average. Now I know why I sound out of tune, but I don't understand why I sometimes don't hear my wife.

31 out of 32, average 1.5 seconds. On the one where I guessed, I guessed wrong.
Kind of slow with the buttons until I realized it would be necessary to hover over u and d to get any speed.

31 of 32, I guessed on one . It was an UP sound which to me sounded exactly the same as the root sound.

31 with .8 average speed.
Most seemed so so very obvious (a semitone or more different) I'd think anyone who has wrestled with cabinet drop or steel tuning would do nearly perfect on this test--- and be fast, too!
(and I'm reminded often by my wife that there is a big difference between "hearing" and "listening." And that it's easy to be "tone deaf" in way other than musical.)
...and here is the hearing test I don't like to know the results of: test your hearing frequency response and "ear age."

Tied with Bob and Greg!
You listened to 32 sounds. Of those you guessed 31 correctly!
Nice work! You did better than 99.54% of people. Your average speed was 0.8 seconds.
One of the very close ones got me, and yes, you need to be on those two keys. I suspect the close ones would be easier with a less pure waveform.

I agree with Bob Knetzger,We all hear the semi tone or more difference.
With the few which sound similar in the test are the differences perhaps only a few cents?.
I think deaf and tone deaf are misused terms.When We say that someone is deaf it usually means You will have to speak with more volume for the person to hear You clearly,We are lazy and have abbreviated the phrase to "he is deaf.
If someone was tone deaf would it not mean that they cannot hear the difference between notes at all?
Should We then say He is unable to hear differences less than a semi tone. Much easier to say "tone deaf" |

The ones I missed were definitely guesses. |
